Four students worked for us instead of for the fast food industry over the summer. All four delivered useful results, including the now widely used Thaw filesharing utility, essential improvements to the installer and FEC code, the resurrected and much improved Freemail and some simulations that will inform decisions on load balancing and congestion control in the near future and for years to come. Google paid them $4,500 and us $500 each, and let us visit their HQ for a conference. This year we have been accepted into the Summer of Code again. If you are a student and want to work with us this summer, send an application in, and feel free to contact us via email, IRC, or otherwise.</p> +Last year, Freenet was part of <a href="http://code.google.com/soc/";>Google's Summer of Code</a>.

The network continues to grow despite the naysayers and despite a major crypto bug that was fixed in 1010, forcing a partial network reset. This year we plan to implement opennet as well as further improvements to performance (we have a number of leads as to what is going on). Opennet will mean that new users no longer need to manually peer with total strangers - like in 0.5, the network will do it for them. Once they are connected to the network then they can add some of their friends ("true darknet connections") to increase their security.</p> <p>If you haven't tried Freenet since our last announcement, please try it again. And if you haven't tried it since the first alpha release of 0.7, you should definitely try it out again. We are not releasing a second alpha because we want to deal with Opennet first.</p>
